I would love to be able to help with Python-dev in some way. I'm especially interested in issues directly related to the interpreter itself. I have gained some compiler development experience while at the university and would love to continue working in this area.

In addition to what Christian suggested, the most valuable short-term contribution would be to look into open bug reports, and propose fixes for them. In particular, the Parser/Compiler, and "Python Interpreter Core" bug categories might attract you (there are 4 bugs in the former, and about 40 in the latter category). Many of these issues are still open because they are really tricky, so expect some of these to be middle-sized projects on their own.
